Antonio Bryant Gives Terrell Owens #81

And like that, the first fire in Cincinnati is quietly put out.

Of course the network tried to make a big deal of this on ‘First and 10’ but Antonio Bryant has shown that he isn’t going to feed into the drama. He quietly switched jersey numbers saying “he has a larger legacy than me.” That it, no drama, no money exchanged, no dinners, nothing. Just a quick statement and business goes on as usual.

I’m glad that the Bengals have worked this out internally and it didn’t become a media spectacle.
